I look at this (saw it on CyclingWMD this morning too) and realise that I don’t have a problem.

Love the shot where they’re all drinking scotch too.

Just this once 
One day I’ll build myself a 10 speed racer. I got the Osgear which is modded with a 5th detent as was commonly done back in the day (index shifting folks !!!), mixed with a suicide front shifter and the old style dropouts complete the picture. Ekla sandcast lugs, twin plate crown, Prior hubs … yada yada, when I get some time.
If anyone is interested I have an excellent article about the development and history of the Osgear derailleur system in PDF format. About 7mb’s … really well written - pm me
///On that note … is there any way to upload files on this forum for others to share?
you could post links to rapidshare uploads?
Also, I’ll be pm’ing you.
I concur, however I think I read this a different way than you possibly meant it. I don’t have a problem, because I wouldn’t want all those bikes. Yeah, they’re cool. Are you going to ride them though? Probably not. I love my bikes because I love riding them. (Unless its some kind of museum in which case I’m going to look pretty dumb.)
